‘Since leaving, I have received some very good offers and am tempted by one or two of them,’ Moyes said in the Sunday Times.

‘I have not closed the door on anything and am open-minded about my next step in management, and whether it will be in the UK or abroad.

‘Another possibility is that I may choose to have a break and enjoy watching and observing football throughout the world. What I do know for sure is that I have moved on.’

He added: ‘I have spoken to Sir Alex Ferguson on several occasions in the past few weeks. We met recently at the LMA dinner in London. I had nothing but support from Sir Alex during my time as manager.’
